Hide Shidara
Software engineer, writer
I've worked a wide range of engineering roles: 10,000+ employee corporations to consulting for 2-person startups. I've contributed to systems that saved my company $10,000 per day and built many systems by myself from scratch.
I love helping people that help themselves. I teach software development to bootcamp grads, engineers at my company, and to my audience on my product blog.
In my free time I love meeting product people, work towards FIRE, write, and hang out with family and friends.
